GOOD NEWS:
In yet another sign of success in Iraq, 18 female suicide bombers associated with
al-Qaeda have turned themselves in to coalition forces.
In the U.S., deportations of illegal immigrants have increased, with nearly 350,000 illegals sent packing through Sept., 2008, compared
to 174,000 in the same period in 2004.
Cancer rates have dropped for the first time in the U.S. and previous
declines are accelerating.
With the economy in shambles, fewer and fewer people are exhibiting concern for 'global warming'. Efforts by
the global warming crowd continue, however - with the United Nations issuing yet
another report warning that the cost to fight this 'crisis' may be 170% higher than 2007 estimates. Oops. Lawyers are
getting into the game, demanding an international court for the environment to
punish states that fail to protect wildlife and prevent 'climate change'. Translation:
They want to regulate air.
CULTURE:
Planned Parenthood is offering
Christmas gift certificates. Now you can give an abortion for Christmas.
Or maybe you could give Atlas Sports Genetic's $149 test that promises to predict a child's natural athletic
strengths. Scary stuff, all.

HIV while they were married must pay her $12.5 million.

program providing
government-authorized heroin to hardened addicts.
In Florida, a strict law banning adoption of children by gay people was found unconstitutional by a state judge who declared
there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit
anyone from adopting.
Demeaning?
In California, the PC police object to having kindergarten
students dress up as pilgrims and Native Americans, saying it is 'demeaning.'
In Florida, Gulf Coast University has banned all holiday decorations from common spaces on campus
and canceled a popular greeting card design contest, which is being replaced by
an ugly sweater competition.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of American adults prefer stores to show signs saying
“Merry Christmas” rather than "Happy Holidays."
From the 'I've Got Rights!' file, A Deltona woman has sued the Volusia County supervisor of elections, contending
that, as a Puerto Rican, she should have been able to cast her vote in Spanish
Plans are underway for a movie depicting the
life of Prophet Muhammad. Producer Oscar Zoghbi hopes his film will clear
up misconceptions about Muslims, including what he says is "the understanding that
all Muslims are terrorists." Critics say it is yet another attempt to humanize terrorists.
Virulent atheist Michael Newdow is at it again, seeking to remove 'In God We Trust'
from U.S. coins and dollar bills, claiming in a new federal lawsuit that the motto is an unconstitutional
endorsement of religion.
TOP IDIOTS OF THE WEEK:
Top Idiot Awards this week include the students at Ottowa's Carlton University who
cancelled a cystic fibrosis fundraiser after finding out the disease wasn't 'inclusive' enough. Duh
